New arrivals boost Tividale squad

TIVIDALE have snapped up three new players ahead of the coming campaign.

Forward Nigel Penny has arrived at The Beeches from Halesowen Town and been joined by former Tipton Town and Coleshill striker Jordan Archer.

The pacey forwards will offer more options up front as Tivi look to make their mark in the Northern Premier League Division One South.

Commanding centre back Jamie Willets has also signed from Stourport Swifts.

A host of players who helped the club secure Midland Alliance and JW Hunt Cup glory last season have also signed up as manager Ian Long's squad starts to take shape.

Mitchell Plows and defender Mark Smith have also committed for the 2014/15 season. News of their signings comes a week after 11 of last season's double-winning side also signed up.

Matt Jukes, one of the club's current longest serving players, has also put pen to paper. He spent most of last season on the sidelines with injury but made a promising return towards the end of the campaign.
